        i kinda soft bricked my VollaPhone 22 running Ubuntu touch and now it can't update and adb is bricked it makes a network and i have no images to flash to make it work and the installed recovery has no adb mode to flash a zip and there is no TWRP or other recovery out afaik. i can still use it but reflashing seems to be better for stability and the phone isn't yet in the installer either.
        so are there some images, recoveries or zips to flash and what is the ETA on the installer config for this device?

            @idcrafter how did you manage to soft brick your device? And how did you then manage to make it unbootable?

            Telling us what you did might help us guide you back to a working device.

              @idcrafter Reading several forum posts on volla.online, the company seems to reflash/unbrick for several customers. (Some mention a fee of 25 EUR.)

              VollaPhone22 (dual-boot of VollaOS and UT 20.04 OTA-5), Pocophone F1 (pmOS, edge)

                  @arubislander i got it unbootable trying to fix it, for it did i try the ubuntu touch images from here https://volla.tech/filedump/ but they contain not all and the official recovery won't flash because it is a A/B based phone or boot because it is just a blank orange screen

                      @idcrafter Oh. I don't think any of those images are for the Volla 22.

                        @arubislander there is a zip from one of their currently to me known OTA mirrors and one of them had a mimameid ubuntu firmware image which contained boot.img lk.img and the super.img and after some research did i flash them via fastboot flash lk lk.img then fastboot flash super super.img but i haven't tried this before because the autocompletitions from pressing tab had them not listed
                        it now boots but has weird behavior, it doesn't update via OTA channels and or via apt and i can't install waydroid because of it it hangs allways at 60% with the upgrade (i know i shouldn't use apt for a image based system here but OTA aren't working)

                          @idcrafter You can not yet install WayDroid on a Volla 22 as WayDroid for Halium 11 is not out yet....
